Arians said there is no timeline for the return of Abraham, whose June 29 arrest was first reported Monday by The Arizona Republic.

Arrest reports in DeKalb County showed that John Antonio Abraham, 36, was detained, questioned and later charged with multiple counts, including DUI.

In October 2003, while playing for the New York Jets, Abraham was arrested and charged with DUI after crashing his sports utility vehicle into a fire hydrant and light pole on Long Island. He pled guilty to driving while impaired and avoided jail time, but he said it was a costly lesson.

"I'm not going through that stuff again," he told The Arizona Repubic last August. "It's a bigger headache than it's worth. I got mine one time, and one time is enough. It's brought more pain than it did anything else. That one night of partying wasn't worth all the things I had to go through."

He could be considered a repeat offender if the NFL decides to impose discipline.

When Abraham failed to show up for his conditioning test with the rest of veterans on Friday at University of Phoenix Stadium, Arians said the player was excused for personal reasons. He would not elaborate at the time.

Asked about Abraham's absence again on Sunday, Arians wouldn't get into specifics other than to say that Abraham "has my blessings."

Abraham did not return to text and phone messages left to him.

Abraham led the Cardinals with 11½ sacks last season, his first year playing for Arizona, and it moved him into ninth place on the NFL's all-time list with 133½. He needs 8½ more to move into fifth place ahead of Michael Strahan (141½).

Abraham's 48 career forced fumbles, meanwhile, are tied with Jason Taylor for the most in NFL history.

Abraham was arrested two years ago in Atlanta while playing for the Falcons on two counts of misdemeanor obstruction for failing to leave an area that had been taped off by police.
